Expensive £600+ for verification.
AR Coating is now patchy and was after 18 months!
Glasses kept falling off my face, I think guidance for better fitting glasses would have been useful.
Offered new lenses at over £500 for my existing frames, offered new rayban frames and glasses for £540. I am on a pension and I just cannot afford these sorts of prices. I know there are cheaper frames, but it seems to be the lenses that cost the money, trifocal plus antiscratch, AR coating, etc etc
When did prescription glasses to see become a luxury that is now unaffordable to 25-35% of our UK population?

I was welcomed efficiently on arrival and the whole process from initial test, thorough eye test by Zabir, to ordering new glasses was seamless and reassuring. I can highly recommend Boots Opticians in Wimborne.

Assad was still training he told me, regardless he was a really polite, considerate, knowledgeable and a very skillful optometrist. Felt at ease throughout; he explained everything very well and he is a great asset to Boots.

My appointment was on time and managed even though it was busy. The optician was polite and carried out the examination thoroughly with information and courtesy. I required further tests to confirm a reading which in its self was reassuring, but two more pressure tests and a further test left me struggling to focus correctly which I am sure led to a negative result. I feel as though a return, perhaps the next day to allow my eyes to settle and focus would have been the better option. A small negative in what was overall a good experience.

Appointment started on time with no waiting. Staff were welcoming, efficient and explained what they were doing at each stage. The optometrist was friendly and thorough in her examination and gave clear advice.

Seen quickly and kept informed of tests , cost and what they needed to do. I had additional test which found floater in eye, but reassured it was ok and quite common. Both the lady doing pre test and optical specialist were very friendly and professional. Had help from another male staff member with frames choice too.

I felt that the optician went the extra mile and did a more detailed examination other than the technician did and found a large tumour on my eye, which would not have been picked up by a straight forward eye test. He has now refered me for TWO WEEK CANCER pathway urgently. I just hope the NHS service will be just as good.

Had to go in last week to get my glasses fixed and I was helped out by a lovely young man named Dan. Couldn?t fault my experience, wouldn?t go anywhere else.

A warm welcome as soon as I stepped through the door. Every member of staff I encountered this morning were both friendly and knowledgable. Sasha, the optometrist took time to explain everything in detail (and we had an enjoyable chat about miniature daschunds ?) Charlie then guided me through the different types of varifocals and helped me choose some very stylish glasses! It was a pleasure to meet Charlie and I?m sad that I won?t get him to meet him again as he was just covering from a different branch. I won?t hesitate to recommend Boots opticians in Wimborne. A 5 star visit ??????????
